82 | Rico Lewis - 2024/25

[BLOOMUEN]

Could he be part of the Rodri solution? Just thinking about what Pep did with Philipp Lahm, a player of similar stature and profile, albeit Lahm was more experienced when Pep changed his role. Just a thought.

Him/Savio getting a great little understanding in 1-2s around the right side. Need more players making a run off the defender without the ball. Superb again today.

I think the majority must have realised from day one this kid was a bit special, but I think he may end up being way better than any expectations

Real potential captain of club & country in my opinion

Unbelievably good - his positional awareness, ability to find space and first touch are off the charts

so maybe it’s not just me.

Whilst I’d not read this, I just remember reading Marti Perarnau’s first book and how much Pep valued Lahm’s game- intelligence.

Anyhow, back to work…

[balotelli's back pocket]

His defending is getting better all the time, but I still think his long-term future lies in midfield. He needs the freedom to go wherever the space is, and most managers won't allow a full back to do that.

A decent City article in the Guardian, whatever next - Spitty Boy claiming we're innocent of the 115??

Really excited about Rico this season. Hopefully will start the phasing out of walker.

Regularly looked and acts like a senior player with the ball. It's great to watch
